On our new favourites list is Burds, which has moved into the re-developed Grade II-listed gatehouse of the Fleming Building in Jesmond and is serving up fantastic breakfasts and all-day brunch.
Run by former gallery curator Sarah Tod, the cosy inside space at Burds leads into a larger outdoor patio area under the trees just off Burdon Terrace. Brunch favourites on the menu by chef Ross Sinclair include a fantastic nduja baked eggs and superb buttermilk chicken club sandwich served in brioche. There’s coffee from Pink Lane, chocolate for mochas and hot chocolate from Studio 28 Patisserie, tea from Estate Tea Co, and soft drinks from 40 Kola.
